I also still hold a grudge against him for ruining my one chance to see Edge wrestle because he was too much of a prat to leave a hotel room without trashing it. Blame Eugene for that, he's the one that trashed the hotel room. Orton took the blame, because he knew he could get away with it, and that Eugene couldn't.

Just based off of the Kmart commercial, Randy Orton is very creepy. There is most certainly a lot more going on in that household than the commercial leads on. It's obvious that Randy is sleeping with the Mother, and I think she exploits that fact in front of her husband all of the time. If it weren't for the children, and the fact that he is totally afraid to confront the massive Orton, the Father may have left the family weeks ago.
Randy Orton is a huge homewrecker, and he delights in it. Is it the voices in his head? I don't know.

Randy's good, then he sucks, then he's good again, then he sucks again.
Right now he's in one of his good stages.

Ever since 2009 at least, he's been somewhere among my top ten favorite guys in the company.
His wrestling style seems to lend itself better to working as a face, and I don't think he's as horrible on the mic as he's made out to be. I've never heard him corpse, and his deliberate manner of talking seems to suit his current unstable character more than his old narcissistic "Legend Killer" persona.

I have only warmed to him recently after disliking him for a long time, especially during the 'age of Orton' period where he was the most boring main event wrestler ever.

I really hated him last year, when every RAW would end with him coming out and RKOing everyone, and he could never lose a match, and he talked really slow, if at all, and was really oily and bald. Once he went to Smackdown, and started loosening up a bit, and grew some hair and stopped looking so weird, I started liking him more. The starjump was somewhat of a turning point. Just based off of the Kmart commercial, Randy Orton is very creepy. There is most certainly a lot more going on in that household than the commercial leads on. It's obvious that Randy is sleeping with the Mother, and I think she exploits that fact in front of her husband all of the time.

Randy Orton is a huge homewrecker, and he delights in it. Is it the voices in his head? I don't know. Oh, this lady makes me nuts! First, she tells the kid that he CAN'T have action figures on the table, because dad doesn't allow it. But, the kid says that SHE told him he could. Then, the dad doesn't seem to care that he's on the table, except for the fact that that's no action figure, it's WWE superstar Randy Orton! And the wife already knows its no action figure! So WHY DID SHE TELL HIM THAT DAD DOESNT ALLOW ACTION FIGURES ON THE TABLE, when she (a) said he could be on the table, (b) knew he wasn't an action figure, and (c) knew that the Dad didn't care. What game is this lady playing?!

I have liked him much better recently. He is a terrific wrestler. He`s no El Dandy, but he is still good at what he does.

I like Orton, he's just makes a god-awful face/tweener whatever you want to call him.

And consider there isn't a large contingent of the live fans who don't like him, which means he's probably the most successful face in the company.

Once he went to Smackdown, and started loosening up a bit, and grew some hair and stopped looking so weird, I started liking him more. The starjump was somewhat of a turning point. This is exactly what I was going to say, when Cena was feuding with Nexus last year, and Orton was carrying the title, he was so, so boring. Almost every Raw it seemed just ended with him winning and standing on the turnbuckles. He does seem to be more comfortable on Smackdown. I still hate his slow way of speaking in promos, especially since he rarely has anything interesting to say, but he really has brought it more in the ring lately, and amazingly lost a feud cleanly against Mark.

Best wrestler in North America. No question about that. Nobody in the indys has been as good this year as he has either. Maybe somebody in Japan, but I don't follow puro a lot.
About his charisma, it's true he doesn't have a dynamic personality like a Punk or Jericho. But he's got that old-school intense personality like an Arn Anderson or Terry Funk. Some might find it boring but it doesn't mean he has no charisma.

It wasn't even really him I didn't like, as much as his invulnerability. I don't like anyone who can't lose. Wrestlers who don't lose I say are either (a) using cheat codes, or (b) acting like Silver Skeeters.

One of my favorite wrestlers since the Evolution days. I can see how some people might consider him boring though. Ditto.

Orton on Smackdown this year has been the best thing about WWE. Last year? His dull matches against Barrett really killed him for me. Like one poster said already, it's been a rollercoaster. He has had his moments. Early 2009 the man was the best heel on the planet. Before that I'd always considered him over pushed. This year he has had a brilliant feud with Christian and made Mark Henry look like a menace.
Good work.
